Mid layer or Insulating layer

[ChadSchu]

I do mostly stand hunting for Whitetails in the beginning of NOV. and I was looking for recommendations on a good quality mid layer or Insulating layer. I currently have a mil surplus wool shirt and I have several cheap fleeces but I want something that is warmer as I tend to be very cold on the stand. I was looking at the wooltimate and the wind shear items but wanted to get some advice before purchasing.

I use the windshear stuff, I love it when stand hunting. My under armor, thin polar fleece pull over and windshear keep me pretty warm. My feet are usually the problem though......

If it is really cold I wear silk long underwear next to my skin, then polypropylene long underwear followed by a microfleece mid layer. It is a tighter weave than regular fleece and I have found it to be very warm. My jacket has a windshear layer which seems to help. I have heard good things about merino wool, if anyone wears that as a middle layer I would like to hear how it is. Great topic for a 90 degree day!

Wool is my preference. Merino is good if regular wool is too scratchy. On occasion I have gotten wet whether 40 above or 40 below, the inner layer of wool will dry out/keep you warm. Important as hunts don't always go as planned. Combine wool with outer layer that blocks the wind a decent amount and you should stay nice and warm.
